Bullet Camera Installation in an Outdoor Enclosure 3 / 11
Step 2: Install Ethernet Cable
Ethernet cable provides power to the camera, regardless of whether Wi-Fi is used to transmit data.
Use the following recommendations:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) – either an 802.3af PoE supply or a 48VDC power supply
Current – 125mA, about 6 watts
Ethernet cable – either outdoor rated (described here) or a flexible conduit with indoor rated
cable inside.
Place the PoE power supply in a location suitable for the device. Ensure that you will power the1.
supply in accordance with all applicable safety and electrical codes.
Run a CAT5 or better Ethernet cable from the output of the supply.2.
Locate the cable gland in the enclosed parts bag.3.
Note that the supplied gland may be designed for a substantially larger cable than what you are
using. The purpose of the gland is to provide strain relief. If the cable gland is too large for your
cable, you can wrap a section of the cable in electrical tape to increase its girth.
Install the cable gland or flexible conduit fitting in the camera enclosure, using the provided4.
hole at the rear of the enclosure.
